Point taken.

And I am of the variety of playing tight and solid during the rebuy period, using the rebuy and the addon. $30 variety.

And when he said 70 buyins, I wasn't sure if he meant (70 x 11) or (70 times however much you spend a tourney). That solves things somewhat.

It is perfectly fine to play it as a $20+1 Freezeout with an optional $10 addon. Just keep in mind that many times you will not make it out of the 1st hour. Therefore you are likely looking at most at making it out of the 1st hour 80% of the time. Avg buyin would be $28 then. This is assuming that you NEVER rebuy if you get knocked out. I think it very foolish to play with the first T1500 and then rebuy if you get knocked out. Simply because if you double after an instant rebuy you are at T6000 rather than T1500 for only $10 more, essentially getting T3000 for your extra $10. So the VERY VERY minimum you could have would be $28 * 30 = $840. Playing like this is very -EV. I would budget $51 for each tourney (Buy in + 3 rebuys + addon) and rebuy immediately, then if you lose chips rebuy twice and cut yourself off there. Assuming now that you will make it to the 2nd hour 90% of the time that would put your avg buyin at $50. $50 * 30 = $1500 minimum BR. Then you could extrapolate further with this by saying you will only use the second 2 rebuys 60% of the time, so... $20 * .60 = $12. So $21 + $12 + $9 = $42 * 30 = $1260 That would be my suggestion for longterm play of this tourney.
